Chapter 115 Enemy Troops Number in the Tens of Thousands
"Okay! The general is so cold-blooded and heartless that he disregards the lives of the soldiers in Longfeng City. We have nothing to say!" Zhu Kuo could no longer bear it and stood up angrily.
"I cannot be a treacherous villain. Since the general does not change the military order, don't blame me for disobeying the order and leaving my post!" Zhu Kuo had a dark face and didn't want to say another word. He just felt that Wu Jian'an was old and incompetent, pretending to be brave to show off his military power!
"Zhu Kuo!" Wu Jian'an's face darkened as he looked at the generals who stood up one after another following Zhu Kuo. Most of them had a good relationship with Zhu Kuo.
"Human life is at stake. I will come and accept punishment when I return to provide assistance!" Zhu Kuo no longer wanted to save face. He disobeyed military orders and directly raised his arms, taking away half of the generals.
Wu Jian'an was so angry that he stood up suddenly and wanted to scold Zhu Kuo, but the sudden pain in his heart made him feel dizzy. He covered his chest, staggered and fell back to his seat.
Shao Weiyi was frightened when he saw this, and immediately rushed over to support Wu Jianan: "Teacher! What's wrong with you?"
Wu Jianan kept his eyes open for a long while before he felt his breath was smoother. His eyes seemed to be filled with old age and he said in a hoarse voice: "If the Wu army really plans this, our army... is in danger."
There was a look of struggle on Shao Weiyi's face. In fact, Shao Weiyi didn't quite believe what Wu Jian'an said. It had been almost half a month. How could the Wu army hide for so long? If the Wu army could really do this, he couldn't believe it. How great was Zong Yanli's command ability?
Wu Jian'an was old after all, and his anger seemed to reveal his inability to do anything.
On this side, Zhu Kuo led his troops to leave the camp in a swagger, directly drawing away nearly half of the Jin army's troops. Such a big move naturally spread to the Wu army's camp.
In the dim tent, Zong Yanli finally smiled as he looked at the intelligence that was quietly handed to him.
"Pass on this general's order, the entire army will attack the enemy camp——!"
“It’s finally here.”
"It's really suffocating me!"
The military tent, which had been silent for half a month, seemed to suddenly come back to life when the horn sounded.
The soldiers, whose eyes were red from fatigue, did not even lift the curtain when they left the tent. Instead, they raised their long swords and tore down the tent. The smell in the tent was so disgusting that it was no longer habitable. They might as well just tore it down!
Who would dare to believe that these soldiers stayed in the tent for more than ten days without taking off their clothes or armor?
At this moment, the horn sounded and in a moment the entire army had assembled.
"Kill!" All the depression and pain in his heart were fully vented at this moment. When the Wu army rushed over, Wu Jian'an had just drunk the medicine prepared by the military doctor, and suddenly heard the sound of war drums and horns. His mood, which had originally calmed down, trembled suddenly.
"General!!! It's bad! The enemy, the enemy is attacking us--!" The soldier who ran in in panic was so scared that his legs went weak.
"We were fooled!"
"The enemy forces number in the tens of thousands, not even a single one is missing!"
"The commander-in-chief is Zong Yanli! The vanguard is also the ghost soldiers of the Wu army!"
One after another, military reports were delivered to the table in a hurry. Wu Jian'an's breathing suddenly stagnated. He felt a buzzing in his ears and said almost as a conditioned reflex: "Quickly stop Zhu Kuo and others and order them to return to the camp as soon as possible!"
Wu Jianan swallowed the fishy taste rising in his throat and called out in a hoarse voice: "Bring me my armor! Assemble the army and meet the enemy!"
It all happened so fast.
When they arrived in front of Wu Jian'an's army, they saw the Wu army rushing towards them.
"How could this happen!?" The Jin army was on the verge of collapse, looking at the ferocious Wu army, each of them neatly dressed and well-equipped, as if they had suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"Could it be that the commander of the Wu army knows magic and can turn beans into soldiers?" The scouts had been observing for dozens of days, but did not see a large number of soldiers coming in and out of the Wu army's tent. What would tens of thousands of soldiers eat and drink if they didn't make fire or cook?
The Wu army was ferocious as never before. With half of their cavalry withdrawn, the army formation could no longer be formed and was swallowed up in almost an instant by the charge of the Wu army.
Zong Yanli rode his horse and charged to the front of the army with a long sword in hand. His figure entered the army formation as if he was in an empty space. His personal soldiers and deputy generals followed closely behind him, each of them like a killing god.
Monkie led the way with a sledgehammer in his hand. Even Jie Hu couldn't help but fight in front with a knife in his hand, as if this was the only way to vent his anger.
I could even hear a soldier gritting his teeth as he hacked at the enemy, "Damn it! It's you damned bastards that have kept me locked up for half a month! You even have to drink your urine sparingly! I'm going to hack you to death!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who heard them turned pale, and their anger was aroused even more. They blamed the Jin army for all the torture they had endured in the past half month. Those who were charging in the front had red eyes.
"Teacher! We can't stop them!" Shao Weiyi was forced to retreat one after another. Finally, the enemy troops reached Wu Jian'an. Shao Weiyi saw that something was wrong and turned to Wu Jian'an and said, "Let's retreat! Teacher!"
"..." Wu Jian'an's face was tense and he said nothing. His eyes were fixed on Zong Yanli who was sitting high on his warhorse. The fierce general was almost completely covered in armor. The black long sword he swung was so ruthless that it brought up a cloud of blood foam.
Wu Jian'an couldn't tell what expression he had at the moment, perhaps unwillingness, powerlessness, or heaviness and grief.
He couldn't help but tightly grasp the hilt of the sword at his waist. If he was given another twenty years, no, ten years!
He will definitely be able to regroup and fight again!
The fanatical emotions in Wu Jian'an's heart were exhausted so quickly that he knew he couldn't wait any longer.
"Withdraw." Wu Jian'an finally ordered the withdrawal.
"Don't let that old thief Wu Jian'an get away!" Someone in the Wu army shouted, and then everyone pointed their spearheads at Wu Jian'an, and a rain of arrows followed.
After Zong Yanli chopped down the soldiers blocking the way with his sword, he looked up and saw that the Jin army intended to withdraw. His eyes immediately turned cold, and he stuck the long sword in his hand into the ground. He took the bow and arrow with his backhand, raised it, and shot three sharp arrows in succession without hesitation.
Om-!
Every arrow that broke through the air was filled with fierce murderous intent!
Wu Jian'an swung his sword to block one arrow, and Shao Weiyi blocked another, but the third arrow still pierced Wu Jian'an's chest. It only needed to go a little further down to reach his heart.
Shao Weiyi screamed: "Teacher——!"
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" When he saw Wu Jian'an falling backwards, tears almost came to his eyes. Without hesitation, he blocked Wu Jian'an with his body and protected him as he retreated.
The Jin army was defeated.
Zong Yanli led his troops to chase them to the south of Yonghe River. The number of enemies killed was incalculable, and 8,000 soldiers were captured!
"Hahahaha! So cool!" The Jin army camp was completely occupied, and countless weapons and horses were found, as well as a large amount of food and fodder. In this battle, our army won a great victory.
